BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a motor and, more particularly, to an easy-to-start inner-rotor-type motor capable of preventing the dead angle of starting the inner-rotor-type motor, as well as a claw-pole member thereof.

2. Description of the Related Art

Please refer to FIG. 1, an exploded diagram of a traditional outer-rotor-type motor is shown. The traditional outer-rotor-type motor 8 comprises a base 81, a stator 82 and a rotor 83. The base 81 is equipped with a shaft tube 811. The stator 82 comprises a plurality of claw-pole plates 821 and a coil unit 822. The plurality of claw-pole plates 821 is stacked with one another to form a claw-pole entity. The coil unit 822 is wound around a predetermined portion of the plurality of claw-pole plates 821. The rotor 83 is rotatably coupled with the shaft tube 811 of the base 81. As such, the stator 82 may drive the rotor 83 to rotate when being electrified.

Taiwan Patents No. M342688, 200603514, I276281 and I244817 disclose a variety of outer-rotor-type motors. Briefly, each of the traditional out-rotor-type motors substantially employs different-structured stators to generate an uneven magnetism for triggering a rotation of the rotor, thereby allowing an easy start of the motors and preventing the dead angle of starting the motors.

Apart from the above-mentioned outer-rotor-type motors, the inner-rotor-type motors have also been widely used in the related field. In comparison with the outer-rotor-type motors, the inner-rotor-type motors actually provide better rotation stability and higher rated rotation speed. Accordingly, due to an increasing demand for high-speed, functionally-integrated and miniaturized electronic products, the inner-rotor-type motors are widely adopted in modern electronic products while the outer-rotor-type motors no longer satisfy the need for heat dissipation of certain electronic products.

For example, Taiwan Patent Publication No. 200744290 discloses an inner-rotor-type motor, as shown in FIG. 2. The inner-rotor-type motor 9 comprises a casing 91, a stator 92, a rotor 93, a driver 94 and a fan wheel 95. The casing 91 consists of a first part 911 and a second part 912, with both the first part 911 and the second part 912 having a bearing 913 disposed therein. The stator 92 has a magnetic-conducting element 921. The rotor 93 has a shaft 931 and a magnetic element 932. The shaft 931 is disposed inside the casing 91 and coupled with the two bearings 913, wherein the magnetic element 932 may be fitted to the shaft 931. The driver 94 is electrically connected to the magnetic-conducting element 921. The fan wheel 95 is coupled to the shaft 931 and located outside the casing 91. In this way, the driver 94 may control the current direction of the magnetic-conducting element 921 to trigger the operation of the rotor 93 and the fan wheel 95.

However, although the magnetic-conducting element 921 of the inner-rotor-type motor 9 is capable of triggering the operation of the rotor 93, it does not overcome the known problems such as difficulty in starting the motor and the dead angle of start. Therefore, there is a need to improve the traditional motors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Please refer to FIGS. 3 to 5, an inner-rotor-type motor is shown according to a first embodiment of the invention. The inner-rotor-type motor comprises a casing 1, a shaft 2, a claw-pole member 3 and a coil unit 4. The casing 1 is hollow and the shaft 2 may be rotatably coupled to the casing 1. The claw-pole member 3 is coupled within the casing 1. The coil unit 4 is wound around a predetermined portion of the claw-pole member 3. As such, the coil unit 4, after being electrified, may enable the claw-pole member 3 to generate a magnetic field, thereby triggering the rotation of the shaft 2.

Since the casing 1 is provided to receive the claw-pole member 3 and to rotatably couple with the shaft 2, the casing 1 may be designed as any structures capable of achieving the purpose described above. In the embodiment, the casing 1 comprises a shell 11 and an enclosed member 12. The shell 11 defines a compartment, and a through hole 111 and an opening 112 are formed on two opposite sides of the shell 11 and communicate with the compartment. The enclosed member 12 is fitted into the shell 11 via the opening 112. A plurality of bearings 13 is disposed inside the shell 11 (or may be only one bearing 13 disposed). One of the bearings 13 may be coupled with a side of the through hole 111, and another one of the bearings 13 may be coupled with the enclosed member 12.

The shaft 2 is coupled with the bearings 13 via the through hole 111 such that the shaft 2 is rotatably coupled to the casing 1. An end of the shaft 2 may be exposed outside the casing 1. The shaft 2 is coupled with a permanent magnet 21 having a magnetism-inducing surface 211. The permanent magnet 21 is located in the compartment of the casing 1.

The claw-pole member 3 may be formed by stacking a plurality of claw-pole plates with each other, or formed by way of integral molding. Preferably, the claw-pole member 3 is formed by way of integral molding so as to improve the manufacturing convenience. As shown in FIG. 5, the claw-pole member 3 in the embodiment is closely coupled within the casing 1 and has an annual portion 31 and a plurality of salient-poles 32. The annual portion 31 has an inner circumferential wall 311. The plurality of salient-poles 32 is radially extended from the inner circumferential wall 311 to a central axis of the annual portion 31. In particular, each salient-pole 32 is disposed between the annual portion 31 and a respective pole plate 33, with the inner circumferential wall 311 facing the pole plates 33. Specifically, the annual portion 31, salient-poles 32, and pole plates 33 may be integrally formed as a claw-pole entity (i.e. the claw-pole member 3) or separately shaped before being combined into the claw-pole member 3, depending on requirements. According to the FIG. 3, the pole plate 33 has a first side 331 and a second side 332 substantially extending along an axial direction of the pole plate 33, with the first side 331 and the second side 332 being opposing to each other. A magnetic pole surface 333 is formed between the first side 331 and the second side 332 and faces the magnetism-inducing surface 211 of the permanent magnet 21. An air gap G is formed between the magnetic pole surface 333 and the magnetism-inducing surface 211.

Specifically, in a radial section of the pole plate 33 (with reference made to FIG. 5), the pole plate 33 forms an extension portion 33 a adjacent to the first side 331, as well as a shrinking portion 33 b adjacent to the second side 332. Wherein, the extension portion 33 a and the shrinking portion 33 b should be designed to have different radial sectional areas. For example, the first side 331 is designed to have a radial sectional area relatively larger than that of the second side 332 while increasing the volume of the first side 331, or the second side 332 is designed to have a radial sectional area relatively smaller than that of the first side 331 while decreasing the volume of the second side 332. In this way, the distance between the extension portion 33 a and the permanent magnet 21 is smaller than that between the shrinking portion 33 b and the permanent magnet 21, such that the air gap G is formed to be an uneven-distance air gap. Specifically, the portion of the air gap G adjacent to the extension portion 33 a would have a smaller radial distance than that of the portion of the air gap G adjacent to the shrinking portion 33 b. The methods to form the extension portion 33 a and the shrinking portion 33 b may be substantially categorized into different categories as described below, which may only be regarded as preferred embodiments and should not be taken in a limited sense, as the similar ideas are encompassed by the invention.

Firstly, as shown in FIG. 5, the radial sectional area of the pole plate 33 is designed to have been gradually reduced heading from the first side 331 to the second side 332. As such, the extension portion 33 a and the shrinking portion 33 b are formed.

Secondly, as shown in FIG. 6, a cutoff surface 34 is designed on the second side 332 of the pole plate 33. With the cutoff surface 34, the radial sectional area around the second side 332 would be smaller than that around the first side 331. As such, the extension portion 33 a and the shrinking portion 33 b may be formed via the slight modification of the pole plate 33.

Thirdly, as shown in FIG. 7, a protrusion 35 is designed on the magnetic pole surface 333 of the claw-pole member 3, with the protrusion 35 being adjacent to the first side 331. Through the protrusion 35, the radial sectional area around the first side 331 of the claw-pole member 3 would be larger than that around the second side 332. As such, not only can the protrusion 35 reinforce the structural intensity of the pole plate 33, but also can form the extension portion 33 a and the shrinking portion 33 b.

The coil unit 4 may be wound around the salient-poles 32 of the claw-pole member 3, wherein two insulation coverings 36 may be combined to two ends of the claw-pole member 3 before the salient-poles 32 are wound by the coil unit 4. Alternatively, an insulation layer (not shown) may be directly formed on the surface of the claw-pole member 3 without the insulation coverings 36, so as to provide insulation for the claw-pole member 3. Referring to FIG. 5, a first winding space 321 and a second winding space 322 may be formed on two opposing sides of each salient-pole 32 of the claw-pole member 3. For any given salient-pole 32 with a corresponding pole plate 33 coupled therewith, the distance (D1) between the inner circumferential wall 311 and the corresponding pole plate 33 in the first winding space 321 is preferably the same as that between the inner circumferential wall 311 and the corresponding pole plate 33 in the second winding space 322. In this way, as the coil unit 4 is wound around the given salient-pole 32, the winding distributed in the first winding space 321 would be substantially the same as that distributed in the second winding space 322.

With the structure described previously, the inner-rotor-type motor of the first embodiment is mainly characterized by that an uneven-distance air gap may be formed between the magnetic pole surface 333 and the magnetism-inducing surface 211 by properly designing the extension portion 33 a and the shrinking portion 33 b of the pole plate 33. In this way, when the coil unit 4 is electrified, the reluctance of the portion of the air gap G adjacent to the extension portion 33 a would be different from that of the portion of the air gap G adjacent to the shrinking portion 33 b. As a result, an uneven magnetic force is resulted and the rotation of the rotor is triggered, thus achieving an easy start of the proposed inner-rotor-type motor and avoiding the dead angle of starting the motor.

Please refer to FIGS. 8, 9, 10 and 11, an inner-rotor-type motor comprising a casing 1, a shaft 2, a coil unit 4 and a claw-pole member 5 is shown. The casing 1, shaft 2 and coil unit 4 have been described above, so they are not discussed herein for brevity.

Similarly to the claw-pole member 3 in the first embodiment, the claw-pole member 5 in the second embodiment comprises an annual portion 51, an inner circumferential wall 511, a plurality of salient-poles 52, a first winding space 521 and a second winding space 522. In addition, a pole plate 53 is formed on an end of each salient-pole 52. The pole plate 53 has a first side 531 and a second side 532, with the first side 531 and the second side 532 being opposing to each other. A magnetic pole surface 533 is formed between the first side 531 and the second side 532. An air gap G is formed between the magnetic pole surface 533 and the magnetism-inducing surface 211.

The difference of the claw-pole member 5 in the second embodiment and the claw-pole member 3 in the first embodiment is described below. As shown in FIG. 11, a reference plane P passing through a central axis of the annual portion 51 and a central line of a given salient-pole 52 is defined. Accordingly, a common line L where the magnetic pole surface 533 and the reference plane P meet is obtained. Based on the common line L, the magnetic pole surface 533 may be separated into a first magnetic pole surface 533 a and a second magnetic pole surface 533 b. The first magnetic pole surface 533 a is located between the first side 531 and the common line L, and the second magnetic pole surface 533 b is located between the second side 532 and the common line L, with the area of the first magnetic pole surface 533 a being different from that of the second magnetic pole surface 533 b. For example, in an axial direction of the claw-pole member 5, a cutoff portion 54 is formed on the second side 532 of the pole plate 53. Through the cutoff portion 54, the area of the first magnetic pole surface 533 a is designed to be larger than that of the second magnetic pole surface 533 b. Note any other implementations capable of resulting in an area asymmetry for the first magnetic pole surface 533 a and the second magnetic pole surface 533 b are also encompassed by the invention, such as forming a cutoff piece 55 on the magnetic pole surface 533 as shown in FIG. 9.

With the structure described previously, the inner-rotor-type motor of the second embodiment is mainly characterized by that the reluctance adjacent to the first side 531 is different from that adjacent to the second side 532 due to an area asymmetry of the first magnetic pole surface 533 a and the second magnetic pole surface 533 b, thereby achieving the easy start of the motor and avoiding the dead angle of starting the motor.

Please refer to FIG. 12, a claw-pole member 6 is shown according to a third embodiment of the invention. The claw-pole member 6 may also be combined with the casing 1, shaft 2 and coil unit 4 so as to form the inner-rotor-type motor of the invention.

Similarly to the claw-pole members 3 and 5 in the first and second embodiments, the claw-pole member 6 in the third embodiment comprises an annual portion 61, an inner circumferential wall 611, a plurality of salient-poles 62, a first winding space 621 and a second winding space 622. In addition, a pole plate 63 is formed on an end of each salient-pole 62. The pole plate 63 has a first side 631 and a second side 632, with the first side 631 and second side 632 being opposing to each other. A magnetic pole surface 633 is formed between the first side 631 and second side 632.

The difference of the claw-pole member 6 in the third embodiment and the claw-pole members 3 and 5 in the first and second embodiments is described below. The claw-pole member 6 has combined both structural features of the claw-pole members 3 and 5 disclosed in the first and second embodiments. Additionally, in a radial section of a given pole plate 63, an extension portion 63 a adjacent to the first side 631, as well as a shrinking portion 63 b adjacent to the second side 632, is formed. Wherein, a cutoff portion 64 is further formed on the second side 632 of the given pole plate 63. In this way, since the claw-pole member 6 has combined both structural features of the claw-pole members 3 and 5, the proposed inner-rotor-type motor in the third embodiment may be started even more easily and the dead angle of starting the motor is avoided.

The proposed inner-rotor-type motor may be further applied to a heat-dissipating fan. For example, referring to FIG. 13, the portion of the shaft 2 outside the casing 1 may be coupled to a blade 71 so as to form a heat-dissipating fan. Alternatively, referring to FIG. 14, the portion of the shaft 2 outside the casing 1 may be coupled to a fan wheel 72, and the casing 1 may be externally coupled to a fan frame 74 via a plurality of connection members 73 (such as ribs or stationary blades) so as to form a heat-dissipating fan having an air inlet 741 and an air outlet 742. In this way, the heat-dissipating fan may be equipped in various electronic devices or instruments for heat dissipation.

Based on the above description, the invention efficiently overcomes the difficulty in starting the inner-rotor-type motor and avoids the dead angle of starting the motor via the claw-pole members 3, 5 and 6 disclosed in the various embodiments, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the inner-rotor-type motor.
